Susie Wolff has announced she has taken legal action against the FIA following the conflict of interest inquiry last December.

Wolff, director of the F1 Academy series and wife of Mercedes team principal Toto, wants to ‘call out improper behaviour’.


The FIA launched an inquiry late in 2023 following a claim from Business F1 magazine regarding a conflict of interest.

The magazine said that rival team bosses had raised concerns that the Wolffs were sharing confidential information from their respective employers.

Wolff said at the time that she was ‘deeply insulted but sadly unsurprised’ by the inquiry.

But the FIA ended the investigation just two days after announcing the compliance department was looking into the matter.

However, Wolff was clearly not satisfied with the process and she is now taking legal action against the governing body.

She wrote on Instagram: “I can confirm that I personally filed a criminal complaint in the French courts on the 4th of March in relation to the statements made about me by the FIA last December.

“There has still not been any transparency or accountability in relation to the conduct of the FIA and its personnel in this matter.

“I feel more than ever it is important to stand up, call out improper behaviour and make sure people are held to account.

“Whilst some may think silence absolves them from responsibility – it does not.”
